NT stamp duty

First Home Buyer Stamp Duty — NT

Tool page for NT first-home estimates. At a $550,000 owner-occupied purchase, modelled stamp duty is $28,129; funds to complete at 20% deposit are about $128,459. The decision briefing lives on the NT learn hub — do not treat this page as the article.

NT duty is a formula, not a bracket table — and there is no FHB duty concession in this engine. Read the Northern Territory learn hub.

LVR ≤ 80% — LMI not typically required.

Estimate only. Verify stamp duty with the relevant state revenue office. LMI premiums are lender-specific and not included in cash funds to complete (usually capitalised). 5% Deposit Scheme eligibility must be confirmed with a participating lender and Housing Australia postcode caps.

Settlement cash checklist

Prefills duty and fees from the estimate. Tick what you will fund in cash, edit soft costs, and aim for cleared funds before settlement. Not a conveyancer statement.
